Velero is an open-source tool that allows you to backup and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Velero backups support a number of different storage providers including AWS S3. The process of setting up Velero backup with S3 using AWS credentials has been documented by Velero here. However, at the time of this post, there is no official documentation on how to set up Velero using IRSA or IAM Roles for Service Accounts.

In this blog we will guide you step by step through using CloudCasa to backup and restore NoSQL databases such as MongoDB operating in your Kubernetes environment. Before we begin, let’s have some basic understanding of the database under test. NoSQL databases provide a variety of benefits including flexible data models, horizontal scaling, lightning-fast queries, and ease of use for developers.

CloudCasa by Catalogic and Ondat have joined forces to offer customers a combined solution stack to run and manage stateful applications on Kubernetes and provide best-of-breed performance, availability, data protection and recovery. In this episode of TFiR: Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with the executives of both companies, CloudCasa COO Sathya Sankaran and Ondat CEO Richard Olver, to talk about their partnership.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool originally developed by Google for managing microservices or containerized applications across a distributed cluster of nodes. It is widely thought that “Kubernetes is key” to cloud-native application strategies. Kubernetes (K8s) runs over several nodes, and the collection of nodes is called a cluster. K8s clusters allow application developers to orchestrate and monitor containers across multiple physical, virtual, or cloud servers.

Mid-winter is fast approaching, meaning it’s nearly time to start thinking about spring again! But here at Catalogic all we’ve been thinking about lately is adding more features to CloudCasa. We were thrilled to hear that CloudCasa has been named a Kubernetes data protection leader and outperformer in the recently released GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection Report, but we have no intention of resting on our laurels!

Most Kubernetes users understand the complexity involved in managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, especially when those clusters are hosted in hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments.

In this episode of 2023 Predictions, Sathya Sankaran, General Manager of CloudCasa by Catalogic, speaks with Swapnil Bhartiya on his insights into where he sees the industry heading in 2023. The pandemic resulted in the acceleration of cloud adoption and digital transformation and Sathya expects this momentum to continue in 2023 as well.

Google Cloud Provider (GCP) Filestore is a good place to keep lots of rich, unstructured data, such as graphic designs, video editing files, and other media workflows that use files as input and output. Having GCP Filestore backups enables users to protect themselves against the rare case of inaccessibility, accidental changes, ransomware attacks, or other types of disasters.

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a simple, scalable and fully managed file storage service to support the storage and throughput needs of your Kubernetes applications. Amazon EFS is designed to be highly available and durable, however your EFS data can still be prone to data loss, data corruption, and have compliance issues. Amazon EFS Backup and Restore of data helps protect against data loss due to hardware failures, accidental deletion, ransomware attacks, or other types of disasters.
